<meta name="twitter:description" content="Now pleasing sleep had seal&rsquo;d each mortal eye,
Stretch&rsquo;d in the tents the Grecian leaders lie:
The immortals slumber&rsquo;d on their thrones above;
All, but the ever-wakeful eyes of Jove.(76)
To honour Thetis&rsquo; son he bends his care,
And plunge the Greeks in all the woes of war:
Then bids an empty phantom rise to sight,
And thus commands the vision of the night.
&ldquo;Fly hence, deluding Dream! and light as air,(77)"/>

        <p>Now pleasing sleep had seal&rsquo;d each mortal eye,<br>
Stretch&rsquo;d in the tents the Grecian leaders lie:<br>
The immortals slumber&rsquo;d on their thrones above;<br>
All, but the ever-wakeful eyes of Jove.(76)<br>
To honour Thetis&rsquo; son he bends his care,<br>
And plunge the Greeks in all the woes of war:<br>
Then bids an empty phantom rise to sight,<br>
And thus commands the vision of the night.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Fly hence, deluding Dream! and light as air,(77)<br>
To Agamemnon&rsquo;s ample tent repair.<br>
Bid him in arms draw forth the embattled train,<br>
Lead all his Grecians to the dusty plain.<br>
Declare, e&rsquo;en now &lsquo;tis given him to destroy<br>
The lofty towers of wide-extended Troy.<br>
For now no more the gods with fate contend,<br>
At Juno&rsquo;s suit the heavenly factions end.<br>
Destruction hangs o&rsquo;er yon devoted wall,<br>
And nodding Ilion waits the impending fall.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Swift as the word the vain illusion fled,<br>
Descends, and hovers o&rsquo;er Atrides&rsquo; head;<br>
Clothed in the figure of the Pylian sage,<br>
Renown&rsquo;d for wisdom, and revered for age:<br>
Around his temples spreads his golden wing,<br>
And thus the flattering dream deceives the king.</p>
